Hi Panos, The stack that was opened is a project that has many mainstacks in it’s stackfiles. Some of those stacks make use of the browser widget but the stacks that were open during the problem were not using it. I don’t recall the dictionary being open at that time either. I simply killed LC

Hello all, After a brief Google search it seems there are some other apps that have a similar memory leak after upgrading to Big Sur: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252276774 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252090206 The issue folks here (in this list) have mentioned does not seem to

I created a little "leak test" stack that runs the "leaks" shell command against the processID of the LC engine that runs the stack. It checks for new leaks every 60 seconds and lists the number and size of each new leak found. I'm running it in LC 9.6.1 on 3 Macs right now - Catalina, High Sierra

I am not personally using Bug Sur but if you make a standalone does it leak memory too or is this only with the development system? JB > On Mar 26, 2021, at 7:29 PM, scott--- via use-livecode > wrote: > > I’m running Big Sur and just got a warning from the OS that I was out of >

Sean, The stack was not running anything. It was simply opened. I don’t believe it would leak like that. Anyway, I’m monitoring to see if it happens again. A > On 26 Mar 2021, at 13:01, Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode > wrote: > > Wow, Andre, that's impressive. That amounts to about 34MB

Wow, Andre, that's impressive. That amounts to about 34MB per minute over 48hrs. I've had a pretty massive stack (226MB file at the moment) on my Mac sitting here over the last week. Looking in the activity monitor, LC has 987MB associated with it. and watching it over a period of time it remains

I have no idea what happened. I’m running LC 9.6.2-rc-3 on macOS Big Sur on M1 ISA (so it is running under Rosetta 2). I kept the IDE opened for a couple days, I was working on a gaziliion stacks at the same time and was not yet ready to close them. The stacks were not doing anything, they
